lyrics

The river's rising, the sunlight's fading
The crocodile looking for a little baby
He's in a basket, staring at the moon
Lord keep him safe from the river's tomb

Little Moses floated down that stream
They fished him out, of the grasses and the weeds
They took him in and I heard his cry
He didn't wanna leave his momma's side, he said

I don't wanna be the only one
Lord, I don't wanna be the only one
Now I aint scared of tomorrow's sun
But I don't wanna be the only one
No!

Lord you know it aint me that ya need
I'm just a baby that they found in the weeds
You free your people with your own hands
there's got to be another man you can

'Cause I don't wanna be the only one
Lord, I don't wanna be the only one
I aint scared of tomorrow's sun
But I don't wanna be the only one
No! No, no no no no
No no no no, no no
No, no no
no no no no no no
No

But Father if you're gonna stay with me
like when you saved me from the river's beasts
these filthy hands can work for you
Lord I can try, what you asked me to
But I don't wanna be the only one
